| Thanks Romain.  This is what I'm used to while working with compiled code for R.

Two cautious words of advice:  Don't.   

I did that too (which is how you copied it from the HPC Tutorial notes) but
using things like inline is just so much easier.  Now, it's a little tricky
with RcppArmadillo and the ordering of the header files but that's why we
gave you the corresponding RcppArmadillo.package.skeleton()
